The company intends to offer greater flexibility and choice and improved user experience to its customers by providing holistic, end-to-end technology and consulting solutions. This new acquisition will help PropTiger make the home search experience more immersive.

With its virtual walk-throughs, 3DPhy enables builders and brokers to showcase multiple properties over phones, laptops, tablets or head-mounted devices.

PropTiger.com and makaan.com CEO, Dhruv Agarwala said, "With mobile devices overtaking desktops, the real estate sector has become one of the prime sectors where people want to have the ability to search anywhere and anytime, and that is a big priority for us. We are excited to work with 3DPhy and the acquisition reiterates our commitment to provide best in class user experience. It further solidifies our lead in the industry."

Co-founder and CEO of 3Dphy, Amit Shekhar, said, "We are excited to partner with PropTiger. Together, we will offer a comprehensive technological solution to meet the changing needs of our customers. We are delighted that PropTiger believes in our technology and strategic vision; this will enable us to bring even greater value to customers."

3Dphy creates and simulates a near-real experience for prospective buyers through 360-degree panoramas and virtual tours. These tools allow home buyers to not just "see" the surroundings, but also "walk" in them and effectively judge the sizes, shapes, spaces, and dimensions.

The startup was founded by a group of IIT Kharagpur alumni—Amit Shekhar, Rajeev Kumar, Uttam Kumar and Raghvendra Polinki.
